A Win for Anti-Fur Activists - Peek and Cloppenburg stops selling fur

[Guest guest]

Peek and Cloppenburg stops selling fur

Peek & Cloppenburg one of Europe's largest department store chains, has

announced that it will no longer sell fur from 2007, following a 3 year

relentless campaign by activists in Germany and Austria.

With some 120 large stores throughout Germany and Austria, as well as

Holland, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, P & C is an

expanding

international retailer, and has been one of Europe's main suppliers of

real

fur in recent years. This announcement is a massive blow to the fur

industry, and exposes the myth that fur is coming back into fashion.

Well done to all those who contributed to the campaign. For more info
